THE PANION
TO RUSSIAN LITERATURE
The panion to Russian Literature is an engaging and accessible
guide to Russian writing of the past thousand years.
The volume covers the entire span of Russian literature, from the Middle Ages to
the post-Soviet period, and explores all the forms that have made it so famous:
poetry, drama and, of course, the Russian novel. A particular emphasis is given to
the works of the eenth and twentieth centuries, when Russian literature
achieved world-wide recognition through the works of writers such as Pushkin,
Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Nabokov and Solzhenitsyn. Covering such diverse
subjects as women’s writing, Russian literary theory, socialist realism and émigré
writing, leading international scholars open up the wonderful diversity of Russian
literature.
With mended lists of further reading and an excellent, up-to-date
bibliography, The panion to Russian Literature is the perfect guide
for students and general readers alike.
